Album Notes

"The Ottawa group has the cosmic country-rock sounds of Gram Parsons-era Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers down to a science. Sweet little bits of heartache underneath pedal steel and raucous barroom sing-alongs… what’s not to love?" – iTunes

“Their music emerges from rich traditions, but the John Henrys landscape is their own. They straddle the divide between sweet country and 60’s R&B, and they do it in their own distinct way.” - CBC Radio 3

"If Gram Parsons, Neil Young, The Band and Otis Redding had an orgy...You might get something like this." - Chart Magazine

“The John Henrys' Sweet as the Grain is a rootsy masterpiece.” Allan Wigney – Ottawa Sun

“A twangy twist feel good vibe.” Tim Perlich – Now Magazine

“This is great country-roots rock performed with conviction and soul, the way Canada should be represented... A truly magnificent release” - Dave Aardvark, Birdman Sound
